Thanks for the links, we do have black bear around here just not that big. This dish was on 3" steel pipe bolted to 20x12 heavy sundeck and added a extra stabilizer and in unaccesable place, only thing I can come up with is maybe the deck shifted a little which isn't likely,

Thanks, I finally got it just now, remembered I had to add skew to the LNBF on this fixed dish, still dosen't explain how the dish pointing got moved, guess that's what happened sense most channels are back now. A good website with updates on channels that have moved, scrambled or went to mpeg4...

Using old Coolsat 6000, 90cm dish, just replaced lnb today, same results, was watching Press TV until 2 weeks ago with no problems, now it looks like it maybe scrambled, everything on that transponder 11.960v looks scrambled. I thought maybe they went to MPEG4 but did not find any info on the...

I lost 97 a few weeks ago, it's a fixed dish and I tried to troubleshoot the problem. I had to reposition the dish to get the sat back and when I did alot of the transponders are blank. I had to move the dish alot, not just tweek it so Im wondering if some of the channels moved to a different...

Thanks, I have been away from fta for along time. Sense the C band analog days, guess I need to start reading forum post and stay off u tube.

Ok the setup guides I have read says use 1.2 diseqc, Im guessing it would work as well as USALS, I don't see this listed as a option on my Coolsat 5000.

Im am trying to setup a sg2100 motor/dish. Looking over various youtube vids some say set to true south and some say set to the closest sat that's closest to true south. HH dish pointer says my true south is 187.5 with compass, it also list Nimig4 as 189 with compass. Should I align the dish...

I have been trying to reset my dish to 97 but can't find it as easily as in the past. I have found strong signals with good quality on 11,971 H using blind scan but no stations. Im trying to identify this sat so I will know witch way to turn the dish, I have tried LyngSat but don't see this...

I have seem cheap satellite receivers for less than $30 on ebay, I want to buy one and use it coupled to my 7" TV, as a portable signal meter sat/locater for use at the dish. Some of these say DVB T2 and some say DVB S2, does anyone know the difference between the two? Has anyone used one of...

I am using a old Coolsat 5000 with WS-90 dish stock lnb setup. I have it set to 97 - g19, but thinking of adding a dish motor and maybe a new receiver like the one recently reviewed - Geopro microHD. My main question is, what do the new receivers pick up that my old mpeg2 receiver won't...

Here is what I am looking for I have a good OTA antenna system that gets all the networks, nbc,cbs,abc,fox,cw,me,tufff and rts and a few others so I am looking for wildfeeds or something not on OTA, on ku I catch bio & his on 101 and alot of good stuff on 97 but that's about it so I plan on...

I have a spun aluminum 7' and 10' mesh dish with a few dings left over from the vc2 and 4dtv days, I plan on putting on it up beside my garage/hobby shop building. I use a old Coolast and ku only setup for the house, now I need something to play with and search the skys as days get shorter...

I need to buy a 46-55" plasma, lcd or led for my room. I mainly use it for OTA or FTA from my coolsat & cnx, but also would like to be able to surf youtube or maybe rent a movie via my dsl connection, either using the tv as a pc monitor or maybe with use a wireless usb adapter.

I have a deep dish and want to keep my scaler ring/ feedhorn setup, maybe change out the lnb with a lnbf? I am thinking if i remove the pol rotor arm it may work. If not then is there any way to get one of the lnbf/scaler ring combos to work on a very deep C band dish, about .26 ?

I am planning on adding C band to complement my KU setup, however the C band will be limited to 74 - 121 degrees because of the tree line. I am looking for sugguestions on the best sat to setup the dish on (fixed for now) and a good lnbf to replace the old feedhorn/pol motor setup on a BUD...
